Grading Policy:
Exam I Date: Wednesday, Feb. 26, 2020 Location: TBA 25%
15 MCQ Time: 06:00-07:30 PM Material: 10.1 – 12.4 (75 Points)
Exam II Date: Wednesday, Apr. 01, 2020 Location: TBA 25%
15 MCQ Time: 06:30-08:00 PM Material: 12.5 – 14.6 (75 Points)
Final Exam Date: Saturday, May 02, 2020 Location: TBA 35%
21 MCQ Time: 01:00 PM Material: Comprehensive (105 Points)
Online Homework Online homework is provided through BlackBoard 5%
(15 Points)
It is based on quizzes, class tests, or other class activities determined 10%
Class Work by the instructor. Any quiz or test under class activity should be of (30 Points)
written type and not of multiple-choice type. The average x (out of
30) of class activities of the sections taught by an instructor must be
in the interval [21, 22.5].
The Course Passing Grade: A student must score at least 50% (150 Points) to pass the course.
Upgrade Policy: The upgrade policy is applied when 3 points out of 300 are needed to get the
next higher grade. For instance, the passing grade (D) starts at 150/300. If a student gets 148/300
or 149/300, then his grade will be automatically upgrade to D. However, if a student gets 147/300
his grade will be upgraded to D only if his final exam score percentage is greater than or equal
50% i.e. (52.5/105).
Exams:
Exam Questions: The questions of the exams are based on the examples, homework problems,
and exercises in the textbook.
Cheating in Exams: Cheating or any attempt of cheating by use of illegal activities, techniques and
forms of fraud will result in a grade of F in the course along with reporting the incident to the
higher university administration. Cheating in exams includes (but is not limited to):
➢ Looking at the papers of other students
➢ Talking to other students
➢ Using mobiles or any other electronic devices
Missing an Exam:
Exam I or II: No make-up exam will be given under any circumstances. In case a student
misses Exam I or Exam II for a legitimate reason (such as medical emergencies), his grade
for this exam will be determined based on the existing formula which depends of his
performance in the non-missed exam and in the final exam.
Final Exam: If a student misses the final exam for a legitimate reason (such as medical
emergencies), he will be given a make-up final exam.
The Usage of Mobiles in Class: Students are not allowed to use mobiles for any purpose during
class time. Students who want to use electronic devices to take notes must take permission from
their instructor.
Academic Integrity: All KFUPM policies regarding ethics apply to this course. (See the
Undergraduate Bulletin).
